A Welcomed Pump!
"I could go on forever about my love for this recovery eye gel, but I do not want to exceed the character limit. Wow!! This product is absolutely amazing and provides immediate results. It is lightweight, glides smoothly onto my under eye area, and the brightness I see is immediate. I also love that the recovery eye gel doesn’t conflict with my concealer. I look forward to “waking up” my eyes with this product. Every pump is pure joy."
Not very much of result.
"Not very much of result. Still working on it."
Hydrated eyes

Does not work
"This has done nothing for my duets eyes. There is no evidence its working. I've used these products for years and love them all-the Anit-Aging Cleanser, the Vital-C Cleanser, the sunscreen, and the Vital-C moisturizer. But this, no Bueno."

Q&A
- Do we rinse this off after a few minutes or does it just stay on and dry into the skin?
- You do not need to rinse this product off. We recommend allowing it dry on to the skin and continuing your skincare regimen.
